The Long:
Ummm this place is A VIIIIIIBE! stopped here after a hike at south mountain. Skipped the smoothie chains in favor of small business. Best decision of my day! From the moment I stepped in, it was an uplift of mood -- the space is cheery, a mix of modern and Tuscan vintage, and art work I wanted to take home. And the central crystal dexoration made me feel fancy after being in the dirt paths :D
OKAY, so that's just upon entry right? So I do my thing and make the order with a very kind front desk rep. He goes to the back and all the sudden BAM he reappears with an arm full of fruits and vegetables. And I'm like, what is he doing with all that? #weirrd, but --heres the thing, he's using ALL that REAL food to prep my smoothie.
I couldn't believe it -- all this for my bowl? All this for ME and my soul! That's when it dawned on me, omg! Leave this guy a tip for this labor of love!! For sure. So I made sure to tip, and then i could peacefully sink into this OUTRAGEOUS generously portioned acai bowl. Mmmmm!! I could taste every ingredient perfectly blended and touched with honey.
I'm sitting there in pure enjoyment beginning to think about this review and if there was anything that would knock this down from a 5 star? There's gotta be something right? The bathroom? That's gotta be the weak spot. Checked, and nope! Even that spot has a cute light-purple 80s-ish feel going on. Out from the bathroom I come, happily defeated in my quest. I look to the left and a mysterious office with a clinician bed is in there. ??! I ask the kind register guy, "hey whats that about."
THEN HE TELLS ME! It's a doctors office! A naturopathic doctor is in*the*building! (Dr. Juli jones), and she owns the shop. Then i start my googling of Dr. Juli to find out more, and lo and behold -- drumroll -- the shop is black owned by Dr. Juli. The way my heart lifted and fluttered! I KNEW from the beginning this place is a vibe, but then I knew, knew. You know?
Anyways -- great backstory to this place, with fresh nourishing food to boost. Highly recommended! Make the best decision of YOUR day and stop in.
